Default Trim Question

I am going to be starting my second year in IMAC in 2005. I had a blast last year and learned a great deal. One thing I learned is that I need to go through the trim chart carefully. One thing that got me interested in this is that I had to compensate on my down lines all last season for my planes tendency to pull up (to the canopy) on down lines. When I look at the trim-chart it tells me to adjust my incidence for this. Although it is possible to do this, it will take some care.
My question is should I be adjust the incidence first or go through the trim chart in full before I decide to go back and adjust my incidence? If I fail to adjust the incedence and go through the trim chart am I doing it all for nothing or could I possibly find that incidence adjustment was not required?

Here are my specs for reference
